Probability of solving specific problem independently by A and B are respectively. If both try to solve the problem independnently, find the probability that (i)     the problem is solved. (ii)    Exactly one of them solves the problem.  

Answer:

P(A) =                 [given]        (i) P (the problem is solved)                                      are independent events)                         (i)     P (exactly one of them solves the problem)                          and are mutually exclusive)                          are independent events}
